Security is one of the biggest challenges organizations face, and lack of “cybersecurity readiness” leaves companies at risk of major disruption, says a recent article from the World Economic Forum.
This article describes a high-level approach to help organizations secure assets and critical business services in both the short term and long term. For example, the article states, “to develop a cybersecurity strategy that is aligned with organizational goals, clear lines of communication between the executive team and the cybersecurity organization should be established.”
Collaboration, training, and cross-functional coordination are key to a strong cybersecurity incident response. With these points in mind, the article notes, organizations should consider questions like the following:
- Who is the owner of cyber risk in the organization and what is their role?
- Does the cyber risk reporting process include all business units and take into account key business decisions?
- What are the key performance indicators pertaining to cybersecurity for internal stakeholders?
